100 Greatest ABC Couples


Recommended Posts

Is this the editor's choices or the reader's choices?

This list just makes no sense to me. Adam & Liza came in at 90 while Adam & Krystal are at 79? WTF???

I am glad to see that couples from Ryan's Hope are on the list, but I would have put Roger & Delia in the top 20 at least.

Kevin and Lucy should be in the top 25, easy. Their placement so low turns me off of the entire list.

I also would have put Stefan and Laura and Ned and Alexis higher, but that's really just my personal love for both couples; I can admit that they weren't huge deals in their time. Kevin and Lucy, though? They were a BIG DEAL. They approached supercouple status on GH, and were popular enough that they were sent off to anchor their own show. That's a pretty huge achievement.

The crying shame is that Phil & Tara (AMC) and Steve & Audrey (GH) who were icons in their time are not higher.

Phil & Tara were the first truly successful young love story on any soap. They were high schoolers when AMC started. Jeff and Penny from ATWT were young lovers too but not as young as Phil & Tara were.

And then Steve & Audrey carried GH from 1964 to 1977. They were so popular.

I think so far ABC SID is doing better at recognizing all the shows from their network. Hell they even remembered EON. I just wonder if they will go back to pick up Dark Shadows though.

I would not be surprised if we see Robin/Liz have all 3 of their pairings very high on the list, all of their pairings had huge followings.

I expect to see all 3 of Robin's pairings in the top 20. I think Liz/Lucky(Jonathan Jackson's version) will be in the top 10--Their has not been a young couple on GH since L&L2 who gained so much buzz for the show and got a huge fanbase.

This list makes no sense.

Considering the heyday of the couples was the 1980s, how is it possible so so many of the 100 greatest couples were from the 1990s and beyond? This seems as credible as when magazines do lists of top movies of all time, and 80 out of the 100 all just happened to come out within the last 20 years.

I would be most interested to know what criteria was used to determine that Al and Marcia, Todd and Tea and Geogie and Dillon were all greater than Palmer and Daisy, just as an example, or Phoebe and Langley.

For me the bigger crime is that Zendull is ahead of Cliff and Nina and looks like they made the top 25. Rylee, Rendull, and Zendull should have been way down in the bottom 10 of this poll if anywhere near it. IMO

Cliff and Nina and many others on the list so far are worlds ahead of some who look like they will be in the top 25.

    • As long as no names were directly mentioned, it's a bit of a harmless lie, but you are right that she could have just heard something, or someone said that to her at the time rather than just saying the story wasn't popular and she was being written out. Or it could have been true, of course.
    • I hope so!   Despite allegedly being on the show for several years, Neil Wade got a total of ONE paragraph in the Laguardia book.   Paraphrasing, it said, Neil Wade (Michael Lipton) "helped Penny put her life back together after Jeff's death", "was a physician who didn't practice medicine for personal reasons" (didn't know that), "opened a bookstore with Penny" (sounds right), "planned to adopt a baby with Penny who couldn't have children" (sounds right), "began losing his vision and was struck and killed" (who knows?), and then Penny ultimately moved to Europe and married the racecar driver and adopted an Asian baby named Amy (sounds right).  And that was it.  
    • Why do I feel whatever BLQ has planned will blowup in her face?
    • Given Kim's penchant for drama, her love of drinking wine, being more of a guy's girl, and coming across as a bit of a narcissist, I could see this being a memory mistake, an assumption, or hearsay or rumor someone told her without any backing.  I can't see her out and out lying on purpose, so part of me thinks there was smoke somewhere, whether true or false, and she believed some mistake, if incorrect or misremembered.
    • I loved this too!

    • I still say this is Frank's way of saying goddbye to JJ, who brought nothing to the show and was a complete dud for his entire return. He's purposelY been given an awful exit. Is this all Jackson's fault? Most likely not, but I place most of the blame on him. Too many contract demands, too much working around his travel schedule, too many stories he refused to do. GH has WAY too many actors calling the shots and influencing story and hires. We've seen it hurt the show time and time again.
    • Yeah, like others have said, Paul took it home for me today. We'd be so lucky to have him back for good.
    • I really like the scenes between Dani and Andre today.  Regardless of where this goes or who they end up with.  For now I appreciate that they have honesty with one another.  There's deep truth and vulnerability.  More than before.

      date: Tuesday, June 10 | Gregori J. Martin, Cheryl L. Davis | Phideaux Xavier Andre and Dani continue to use each other for their own personal reasons. I mean, good for them, but the people they truly want to be with are not each other. Anita wanting the temporary passes revoked? Oh, I know that made Sharon mad as Hell. MAD! Tracy said, "Shut up! I'm in charge now!" Bill playing around with child bride, via Ashley... that was kind of cute, but I also kind of wish it were true. Sharon, sweetie, your ugliness continues to shine bright like the ugliest of cubic zirconia. And Tracy, your vulnerability is beautiful; this reunion means so much to you, and it's genuine. That's what I want to see. So, with Bill's right side affected, then his stroke was on the left side of his brain; interesting. Very interesting, and while it's nice that he is making significant improvements, more can and will be done. Rehab, huh? Will it be at-home rehab or at a facility? That's what I would like to know. I appreciate Sharon [finally] letting that ugliness fade and her truth begin to come out. That's beautiful. Vernon continues to be wise with his years and his wisdom, and his continued connections with his grandchildren, especially discussing the past (summer of '69) with Uncle Cornelius, I love this. This is what I enjoy seeing. Dani is catching onto Chelsea's crush on Madison, and I think she approves. So, Shanice was a physical therapist to start? Quite interesting. Wait, so Anita is leaving town? Why do I suspect she's going to come home to some messes she'll have to clean up? Notes: I've loved the muted, neutral tones that Tamara Tunie (Anita) has been wearing throughout, but then we get moments like today where she wears this vibrant pop of colour, and I'm fully in love. Karla Mosley (Dani) continues to shine in her facial expressions when Marquita Goings' Hayley is talking nonsense. She embodies Dani from head to toe, eye roll and all. Tunie and Clifton Davis (Vernon) shine together; it's a natural, old-school kind of chemistry they share as a couple.
